Anything Horror’s Guts

Some time ago, I reviewed the movie SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE (here), which while a vampire movie (duh!) had a novel premise: that the director of the original silent classic NOSFERATU got hold of a real live (unalive?) vampire to star in the movie, for authenticity’s sake, but that this bloodsucker grew too powerful and … Continue reading →

Anyone who knows me, personally or through my guest reviews here, will be aware of my long-term affection for KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER, the short-lived but highly influential horror series (if you know nothing about it, go reread my retrospective on it here). It, and the TV movies which inspired the series, successfully combined the … Continue reading →

Anyone who’s hung around Anythinghorror long enough knows that Scott and I are staunch supporters of independent horror filmmakers. Low in budget, they often compensate with original, inventive ideas, stories, atmosphere and direction, and the best of them can stand head and shoulders above many of the generic studio offerings out there. Back in 2011, Scott … Continue reading →

True Believers, I realise I might be older than Methuselah or even Madonna compared to some of you, but I’m not *that* old. I may have been old enough to have seen STAR WARS when it first came out, but I’m not old enough to have been around for the gimmicky horror and science fiction … Continue reading →

Okay, another blast from the past. And what a blast! I saw this in 1977 when I was eleven, and went to a drive-in. No, Uncle Deggsy wasn’t a pre-teen Fonzie, taking chicks on dates on his Big Wheel. No, the parents took my sister and I there, where we played in the playground for … Continue reading →

Well… What can I say? I’ve watched it, rewatched it, and it, um… Some background first, perhaps. Anyway, LEPRECHAUN: ORIGINS will be the seventh in the franchise, and an apparent reboot which usually means taking a character back to its roots, hence the title. Warwick Davis managed quite well in the first six movies, but … Continue reading →

Full disclosure from the start: this is, for the most part, not a good film – at least, not if you’re over the age of eleven. I was that age when the movie came out, several weeks after a little number called STAR WARS appeared. I desperately wanted to see STAR WARS, without knowing anything … Continue reading →

Australia’s a funny old country. They have the most beautiful beaches in the world, their tiniest wildlife can kill three grown men with just a dirty look, their money is colour-coded and waterproof for when you’re drunk and in the water (it’s true!), and their lager can double as an anaesthetic. Area-wise, it’s about the … Continue reading →

When I was younger and still an avid collector of Marvel Comics, I would wait with bated breath the Annuals of my favourite comics; for only twice the price, I could get double the action! I sort of lost interest when Marvel began doing Big Events that crossed over nineteen or twenty different annuals, and … Continue reading →

If you lived in New York City, you might be familiar with Channel 7, WABC-TV. And if you lived there in the 60s or 70s, you might remember the 4:30 Movie, when they would, well, show movies. At 4:30. Hence the name. What made them special for me was that they would often do themed … Continue reading →

I’m gonna tell you right from the get-go that I wasn’t expecting much from AVENGED (formerly titled SAVAGED). Yes the trailer was well done but at the end of the day it just looked like another rape-revenge flick in the I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE vein. But damnit if I wasn’t wrong (and very glad … Continue reading →
